Bokor National Park
Bokor hill station is 189km from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. The entrance of Bokor National Park (bottom of Bokor Hill) is a short 158km ride via Highway 3. After 3 hours into the ride, just 8km shy of Bokor National Park, you will reach Kampot town, a convenient stop for rest, food and fuel. A further 8km southwest of Kampot takes you to the entrance of Bokor National Park.
Unlike the excellent tarmac road of Highway 3, the road up Bokor Hill is in terrible condition. For the most part of the road, it is dirt, gravels and puddles. The skinny road winds its way through thick jungle and you will wonder how two vehicles can pass each other without colliding. If you are thinking of going up by car or minibus, be prepared for a rough ride. A motorcycle or 4WD would be better suited for the job. Even so, travelers should have some experience in off-road riding.
Short Title 2Place Description: Phnom Bokor National Park - 140,000 hectares of primary dzhungleyi mountain savannah elephant is situated in the mountains, the extension of the southern tip of Kardamonovyh Mountains (Cardamom Mountains). The highest point on the plateau - Mount Kamtyay (Bokor) has a height of 1076 meters above sea level (the second highest peak in the country). Approximately an altitude of 100 meters starting primary forests are severely tainted by logging and clearing of fruit plantations. The well-preserved, primary mountain rain forest type begins approximately at a height of 200-250 meters and at a height of about 870 m it becomes Krummholz. The main part of the plateau at an altitude of 900 m represents the rocky savanna with patches of elfin and numerous rocky outcrops. Mountain slopes are carved in streams, rivers and storm drains. South-western slopes of the Elephant Mountains - one of the most humid areas of Cambodia. This is explained by the fact that they are a barrier to the monsoon, bearing sediments. One of the few places where Asian elephants live.
Short Title 3Kirirum National Park - a place unique to Cambodia and interesting from an ecological point of view. It is about 20000 hectares of pine forest of artificial origin, planted at an altitude of 600-750 m over a century ago, and about the same number of hectares of primary jungle.Pine Forest - a place with absolutely typical Cambodia microclimate, it housed one of the summer residence of King Sisowath. From an environmental perspective interesting interaction jungle flora and fauna with a perfect stranger to this area of natural landscape.
Short Title 4You should spend at least 4 days for the adventure. Leaving from Phnom Penh, you would spend the 1st day reaching Bokor Hill and exploring parts of the Hill Station.
